Day 2 on BLC

Chris and I started the Biggest Loser Club program yesterday and we went 100%!!! It was even our rest day for exercise but the online club challenge that I joined had a daily challenge (for Saturday, but we did it yesterday) of doing 50 sit-ups, 50 push-ups and 25 squats, which we both did. We also had a daily challenge for Sunday of eating 3 veggies and 3 fruits and drinking 60oz of water, which we also completed. Yay for us!
Today is cardio & strength training day. Chris got up early and did his cardio, but I'll have to both tonight. I'm proud of him!
I joined an online club challenge, we call ourselves the 'Online Junkies'. What is it? 10 people joined our 'club' and we broke into 2 teams and we will compete each week for which team loses the higher percentage of weight. We also have weekly challenges (this week's is to do 200 minutes of cardio for the week) and daily challenges. These are just challenges that we come up with and pass on to our members. So far I really like it. The club I joined is for people that are pretty much online all day so we have constant support through our weight loss endeavor. I am Blue Team Captain, which I'm excited about because I think it will give me even more accountability.
Through 'Online Junkies' I also learned about a FREE website: www.sparkpeople.com. This is AWESOME y'all! It's pretty much the same stuff as the Biggest Loser Club, but FREE!!! If you want to lose weight and would like some FREE nutrition and fitenss programs and information go to this website and check it out. It really is great! I paid for a 1 month subscription to BLC, but Chris was just following my program (which isn't enough calories for him, really), so he's going to try the Spark program starting Sunday, and I'll probably try the diet program in 2 weeks. I LOVE BLC, especially now that I'm part of the 'Online Junkies', so I'll still be involved with that until my challenge is over, but then I think I'll go to Spark all the way.
Anyways, there's my update. I think I have two weigh days during the week (Sundays for my club challenge and Thursday for BLC since that's when I signed up), so I'll be keeping you updated on how big of a loser I am every week!

Congrats to you both! That is awesome. Not only for the weight loss purposes, but exercising is something you guys can have fun doing together. :-) I love working out, expecially when Ben and I do it together. I really think the competition part of it will help you to stay motivated and have a lot of success. I am looking forward to hearing your updates! Yay for y'all!!! :-)
